Annoying AI bug.

Post by wafflefries777 »

A lot of my skirmish matches have dud AIs. Dud as in they dont move at all or start. They just stand at their base. They only thing they react to is if you attack them. Is there a way to fix this? Its not fun if theres multiple allies or enemies that dont even start their base. Thanks for any help.

This may happen when the AI has too little space. Or some other bug in the AI files. It's difficult to fix since it requires a lot of testing, which is complicated because this does not always happen.

Are you sure you didn't put the AI setting to passive or random?

with the ai dr, they have a tendency to send out the mobile hq to stones on the other side of the map, despite having stone near the base, if this happens and the enemy keep destroying the hq, then instead of building up the ai will be attempting to make another hq to replace the one lost, if this cycle becomes stuck then its easy to see why it looks like the AI is doing nothing, even if they are not on passive.

It is especially bad on a map with your allies as dr on level 9 on aggressive ai setting and with 100k starting points still manage to die through not having a hq :|

Note that in mirage, picking random, will pick either offensive, balanced or aggressive but not passive, however passive is still available as an option.

Thanks to Henry for making the animation

The AI were set on balanced,aggressive, or defensive. I was playing 3 different maps on CEP. 1 was official (Ajuba city) and 2 fan made maps. I played 4v4 so my ally and enemy were both affected. The tribes seemed to not matter since NM,DC, and DR were affected.To fix it I had to abandon game and set it up again. It doesnt sound bad but i like playing with fog on so its quite annoying to spend time building an army to relize the enemy is is a dud.
